Mike Dukakis is urging the Democratic party to get back to basics if it wants to start winning elections.
“We need an all-precinct operation, with precinct captains and block captains,” said Michael Dukakis…. In reality, he believes, the party needs to get back to its roots, organizing neighborhood by neighborhood. Six-to-eight block captains must organize repeated door-knocking excursions and report any supporters or potential supporters back to a precinct captain. In turn, they must be responsible for getting those supporters to the polls on Election Day.
Interesting … where else have I heard this kind of strategy talked about recently?
Please share widely!
Dukakis has been telling this to anyone who will listen for the past year — maybe longer. And you know what? He’s absolutely right.
